    Media Representation of Leisure Time Activities from a Social Gender Axis

    Toruk, Ibrahim; Güran, Salih; Sine, Rengim

    In present-day societies, the notion of leisure time can be considered in quite different meanings. An emerging prominent meaning of interest would deal with leisure time as a space of consumption. Numerous studies have explored the notion in relation to different factors. This study deals with the topic of leisure time in relation to social gender patterns of consumption by means of a discourse analysis conducted on two magazines for men and women respectively. The results showed that in both magazines, the identities of women were constructed through the codes of a male-dominated discourse and were idealized by images that comply with the viewpoint of men.

    COMPARATIVE INVESTIGATION THE USE OF METHANOL AND METHYL TERTIARY BUTYL ETHER IN GASOLINE ON ENGINE PERFORMANCE, CO EMISSIONS AND FUEL COST

    Sezer, Ismet; Bilgin, Atilla

    This study is concerned with investigating experimentally the effects of methanol and Methyl tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE) blending to base gasoline on the performance CO emissions and fuel cost of a spark ignition (SI) engine. The fuel blends were prepared by addition 5, 10, 15, and 20 vol % of methanol and MTBE with a specified amount of base gasoline. The methanol- and MTBE-gasoline blends were designated as M5, M10, M15, M20, and MTBE5, MTBE10, MTBE15, MTBE20, respectively. Experiments were conducted under various engine speeds, spark timings (STs), and compression ratios (CRs). The engine was operated under wide-open throttle conditions. The results of the study showed that the M5 and MTBE10 blends yield the best engine performance in terms of the brake mean effective pressure (bmep), while the M20 and MTBE15 blends are the best performers in terms of brake thermal efficiency (bte). Moreover, M20 and MTBE10 blends give the minimum CO emission values. The economical analysis performed in the study is based on both the current blending fuel prices in Turkey and brake specific fuel consumption (bsfc) of the engine while using gasoline, methanol-gasoline, and MTBE-gasoline blends. It was obtained that, in contrast to the improvement of engine performance, efficiency and CO emissions, methanol and MTBE blends caused increases in fuel costs because of the expensive methanol and MTBE prices in Turkey. Uncertainty analysis was also performed in this study, and it was found that; the uncertainties in the measurement devices do not have noticeable influences on the variations of engine characteristics.

    Evaluation of the effect of earthquake frequency content on seismic behavior of cantilever retaining wall including soil-structure interaction

    Cakir, Tufan

    A three-dimensional backfill-structure-soil/foundation interaction phenomenon is simulated using the finite element method in order to analyze the dynamic behavior of cantilever retaining wall subjected to different ground motions. Effects of both earthquake frequency content and soil-structure interaction are evaluated by using five different seismic motions and six different soil types. The study mainly consists of three parts. In the first part, following a brief review of the problem, the finite element model with viscous boundary is proposed under fixed-base condition. In the second part, analytical formulations are presented by using modal analysis technique to provide the finite element model verification, and reasonable agreement is found between numerical and analytical results. Finally, the method is extended to further investigate parametrically the effects of not only earthquake frequency content but also soil/foundation interaction, and nonlinear time history analyzes are carried out. By means of changing the soil properties, some comparisons are made on lateral displacements and stress responses under different ground motions. It is concluded that the dynamic response of the cantilever wall is highly sensitive to frequency characteristics of the earthquake record and soil-structure interaction.

    The effect of prenatal exposure to 900-MHz electromagnetic field on the 21-old-day rat testicle

    Hanci, Hatice; Odaci, Ersan; Kaya, Haydar; Aliyazicioǧlu, Yüksel; Turan, Ibrahim; Demir, Selim; Çolakoǧlu, Serdar

    The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of exposure to a 900-MHz electromagnetic field (EMF) in the prenatal term on the 21-old-day rat testicle. Pregnant rats were divided into control (CG) and EMF (EMFG) groups. EMFG was exposed to 900-MHz EMF during days 13-21 of pregnancy. Newborn CG rats were obtained from the CG and newborn EMFG (NEMFG) rats from the EMFG. Testicles were extracted at postnatal day 21. Lipid peroxidation and DNA oxidation levels, apoptotic index and histopathological damage scores were compared. NEMFG rats exhibited irregularities in seminiferous tubule basal membrane and epithelium, immature germ cells in the lumen, and a decreased diameter in seminiferous tubules and thickness of epithelium. Apoptotic index, lipid peroxidation and DNA oxidation were higher in NEMFG rats than in NCG. 21-day-old rat testicles exposed to 900-MHz EMF in the prenatal term may be adversely affected, and this effect persists after birth.

    The effect of composite patches on the failure of adhesively-bonded joints under bending moment

    Akpinar, Salih

    In this study, it was aimed to compare mechanical behavior of double-strap joints with aluminum (AA2024-T3) or 16-ply laminate of carbon/epoxy composite (T300/934) patches of different orientation angles at their overlap area subjected to bending moment. For this purpose, AA2024-T3 aluminum was used as adherend, while the adhesive was a two-part paste (DP 460). Six different types of joint samples were subjected to bending moment. The effect of patch material on failure load and stress distribution was examined experimentally and numerically. In the numerical analysis, the composite patches were assumed to behave linearly elastic, while adherend and adhesive layers were assumed to be nonlinear. It was found that the data obtained from 3-D finite element analysis were coherent with experimental results. Meanwhile, experiments showed that fiber orientation angles of the patches markedly affected the failure load of joints, failure mode and stress distributions appeared in adhesive and composite.

    Ozdes, Duygu; Duran, Celal; Bayrak, Hacer; Serencam, Huseyin; Basri Senturk, Hasan

    An effective, simple, low cost and accurate sorption-spectrophotometric platform for the extractions and subsequent quantifications of Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions in food and environmental samples has been described in this dissertation. The separation and preconcentration of the analyte ions were accomplished by solid phase extraction method based on the adsorption of their N-(4-methylphenyl)-2-{[(4-phenyl-5-pyridin-4-yl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)thio] acetyl} hydrazinecarbothioamide (MFPTAHK) complex on Amberlite XAD-8 resin in a mini column. The developed method was systematically investigated in different set of experimental parameters that influence the separation and preconcentration of Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions. The precision of the method was determined by reproducibility studies and expressed as relative standard deviations (RSD %) which were less than 4% for both analyte ions. The limits of detections (LODs) for Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions based on the three times the standard deviation of the blanks (N:10) were found to be 0. 31 ?g L-1 and 0. 86 ?g L-1, respectively. The developed SPE procedure was utilized for the simultaneous extraction and determinations of Cd(II) and Pb(II) ions levels in rice, cracked wheat and red lentil as food samples and various water samples.

    Akpinar, Salih

    In this study, mechanical properties of double-strap joints with aluminum or composite patches of different orientation angles at their overlap area were investigated under tensile loading. For this purpose, AA2024-T3 aluminum was used as adherend, while patches were either AA2024-T3 aluminum or 16-ply laminate of carbon/epoxy composite with five different orientation angles ([0]16, [90]16, [0/90]8, [45/-45]8, [0/45/-45/90]4). A two-part paste adhesive (DP 460) was used to bond adherend and patches. Six different types of joint samples were subjected to tensile loading. The effect of patch material on failure load and stress distribution was examined experimentally and numerically. As a result, it was concluded that the data obtained from 3-D finite element analysis were coherent with experimental results and additional to that fiber orientation angles of the patches markedly affected the failure load of joints, failure mode and stress distributions appeared in adhesive and composite.

    A statistical assessment of current seismic quiescence along the North Anatolian fault zone: Earthquake precursors

    Öztürk, Serkan

    The variations of the current seismicity rate on the North Anatolian Fault Zone in the beginning of 2009 have been analyzed based on the phenomenon of precursory seismic sequence before crustal main shocks. For this purpose, a statistical assessment is made to detect the seismic quiescence situation by using the standard normal deviate Z-value. Eight seismic quiescence regions are observed and quiescence anomalies in these regions have been observed since the beginning of 2005. On the Marmara part of the North Anatolian Fault Zone, four quiescence areas have been found on Silivri, in the Black Sea, around Izmit region and Çanakkale, Saros Gulf. On the Anatolian part of the North Anatolian Fault Zone, two quiescence areas have been observed on the Düzce fault and around the city of Amasya. Other anomalies have been observed around Erzincan, Elaziǧ and Bingöl regions on the eastern part of the North Anatolian Fault Zone. Due to the occurrences of the last strong earthquakes "MW = 6.0-Elaziǧ earthquake, 2010 March 08; MW = 5.2 - Çanakkale (Saros Gulf) earthquake, 2010 November 03; MW = 5.5-Erzincan earthquake, 2011 September 22 and MW = 5.1-Marmara Ereǧlisi (Tekirdaǧ) earthquake, 2012 June 07", other seismic quiescence regions may contribute to the forecasting of impending main shocks. Spatial and temporal estimates of the future seismic hazard of the North Anatolian Fault Zone are provided based on the results.

    Serencam, Huseyin; Duran, Celal; Ozdes, Duygu; Bektas, Hakan

    A simple and highly sensitive separation and preconcentration procedure, which has minimal impact on the environment, has been developed. The procedure is based on the carrier element free coprecipitation (CEFC) of Co(II), Cu(II), and Ni(II) ions by using 2-{4-[2-(1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl]-3-(4-methylbenzyl)-5-oxo- 4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol- 1-yl}-N'-(pyridin-2-yl methylidene)acetohydrazide (IMOTPA), as an organic coprecipitant. The levels of analyte ions were determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The detection limits for Co(II), Cu(II) and Ni(II) ions were found to be 0.40, 0.16 and 0.17 μg L-1, respectively, and the relative standard deviations for the analyte ions were lower than 3.0%. Spike tests and certified reference material analyses were performed to validate the method. The method was successfully applied for the determination of Co(II), Cu(II) and Ni(II) ions levels in sea and stream water as liquid samples and red pepper, black pepper, and peppermint as solid samples.

    The effect of the spew fillet on an adhesively bonded single-lap joint subjected to bending moment

    Akpinar, Salih; Doru, Muhammet Onur; Özel, Adnan; Aydin, Murat Demir; Jahanpasand, Hamed Ghaffarzadeh

    The mechanical behaviors of an adhesively bonded single lap joint with a spew fillet under bending moment, where the widths of the upper-adherend and lower-adherend are not the same, were studied experimentally and numerically. Using AA2024-T3 aluminum alloy as adherend and DP460 as paste adhesive, four different types of single-lap joint samples (without spew fillet, with spew fillet at joint edges, with spew fillet at joint ends and with spew fillet at all edges) were produced for experimental studies. Stress analyses in the single-lap joint were performed with a three dimensional non-linear finite element method by considering the geometrical non-linearity and non-linear material behaviors of both adhesives (DP460) and adherend (AA2024-T3). The single lap joint with the spew fillet with different widths had a significant effect on the stress distribution. Additionally, the spew fillet increased the load carrying capacity of the joint and decreased the stress concentration of the joint.
